Detectives: Woman killed in Fort Myers shooting

Deputies in Lee County are working a homicide investigation after they say a shooting in the Harlem Heights area of Fort Myers left a woman dead.

Officials we spoke to say they received a 911 call around 6:40 p.m. Friday from a neighbor who said they heard gun shots.

Deputies say when they got to 15251 Straight Street, they found a man inside the home with a younger female victim.

Detectives are currently questioning that man and they say there is no danger to the surrounding community.

The names of the victim and the suspect have not been released and officials we spoke to say it is unknown how - or if - the man and the girl knew each other. But neighbors we spoke to say he may be a relative.
